Notes:
These unreleased demos have never before been posted online or circulated at all amongst fans.
The demos are sourced from 2 sessions, both recorded at Cro-Magnon Studios in Dayton, Ohio. The first 8 tracks are from September 1992. This was apparently a very preliminary recording session, just to sketch out the songs, with most of the tracks being instrumental.
The second batch (tracks 9-17) is from November 1992. The songs are a bit more together and include vocals for the most part. Still, there are some very noticeable differences to the finished album versions in songs such as "Divine Hammer" and "Saints". Perhaps the highlight of the tape is a completely unreleased song called "Go Man Go", previously known only to fans by one low-quality live recording. The vocals are very high in the mix for this 2nd set.

Original cassette provided by andycherry. Transferred and uploaded by defgav.
defgav made these available on his blog http://defgav.com, and I simply thought they deserved wider circulation, so here it is. All praise to andycherry and defgav for these. The first set, in particular is amazing!


Enjoy,
